Spring has sprung!

Despite the seemingly never-ending rain, Spring is actually here! I know I’m not the only one who loves seeing the daffodils blooming, bulbs popping up everywhere (I forget where they are in my garden every year!) and blossom appearing.

Obviously Easter is a fun part of Spring, with loads of opportunities for…. chocolate?! Well yes, lots of chocolate (please!), but lots of cute chicks, bunnies, lambs, butterflies and buzzy bees appearing and birds singing too - walks outside are much lovelier than in the depths of winter and the Spring flowers are colourful too.

I wanted to make a Spring pack full of crafts and activities which will keep kids and grown ups busy, even when those Spring showers do strike! This pack is crammed with colouring-in and fun crafts which will make creations to be proud of, including:

  • Make your own cute bunny basket just with paper folding. Decorate it to make the bunny super adorable. Perfect to give as gifts to family or friends, filled with mini eggs, little chocolate bunny treats or mini furry chick toys!

  • Create a beautiful Spring wreath - this papercraft wreath comes with so many decorations you’ll be spoilt for choice and could make 2 or 3! This craft creates such a colourful, detailed decorative wreath, you’ll be proud to display it on your door, in a window, or give as a gift.

  • Meet the Eggheads crafty activity - these fun eggs in eggcups need some faces! Dress them up with eyes, mouths, even moustaches and hats. You’ll be able to create the silliest characters which will really make you giggle (top tip - double up this craft activity by growing cress in eggshells and decorating the shells with these funny faces - the cress hair will really add to the effect!)

  • Colouring-in - jam packed with colouring pages, you’ll be able to share these with friends. There are beautiful spring flowers to colour in, you could cut these out and stick to a card for a treat to send to loved ones. Three children are carrying Easter cuties and treats - colour them in and think of names for them - you could cut them out and play with the children as paper dolls. There’s a super cute nest with eggs snuggled together - some of them are sleeping and some are awake! And there’s a brilliant Easter egg hunt colouring page which is chock full of details, including loads of Easter eggs to find!

There are two ways of getting your hands on the Spring activity pack - you can download it to print at home (print out pages multiple times if you like), or you can buy the pack in my shop and it will land on your doorstep in the post - this printed version comes with a really colourful cover!

Perfect for weekends and after school activities, or saving til the Easter holidays, this craft and activity pack will keep children and adults busy, having lots of creative fun for hours.
